BabySparks - Development Activities and Milestones for Android
Not happy with apps that trick you. Why say it's free but when actually downloaded almost anything you want to use you have to pay for.. all you get is the daily progress which there are other FREE and I mean actually FREE apps that do just that..
While almost all the info is only available in the paid version, the free version gives you the daily program and most of the exercise titles are self explanatory. I used it as the free version for about a month before deciding to subscribe. I've discovered some things my baby is able to do (grasping, kicking to music, etc) that I wouldn't have found out until later if left to my own devices. At the very least, it gives me goals and activities to do that make me feel productive as a parent as well as starting to structuring the day for homeschooling in the future.
Great app. Love the videos to show you how to and I love doing the activities with my child. Just 1 things I would like to be able to do and that is to update the previous days activities,that you didn't get to tick down. But overall love this app.????
Downloaded this app and paid for one month. It's been charging me monthly for a year with no option to cancel my subscription. Not happy.
My daughter is not up to where she is suppose to be in some areas. So some of the acitivities are too hard or she cant do them. I like this app, but i wish it could adjust to the child as needed
Why should we buy ?? We can learn many things from YouTube as well don't need an application just downloaded for 5 min and uninstall suckyy
I really like this. It helps me to encourage my daughter to reach her milestones.
Teaches you lots of developmental exercises to do with your new baby. Backed by scientific research, it shows you how to play with your baby at each specific age. I especially love the video demonstrations that make each exercise cristal clear.
Nothing is free you have to pay for 90% of the app. Not informational unless you pay
Totally worth the small fee. I love that there's a preemie options and if a task is to hard for your child you can try again latter.
Seems like a great app for activity ideas but the free version is pretty much a useless preview of the actual paid version.
Wish there was a way to browse future milestones and activities to help child in accelerating.
Tells you it's a free app but you have to pay if you want more than 2 activities a day ...
This is a great app.
It gives me quality time with my baby
Such a small price to pay for great development activities to do with your little one
Great app to assist working parents
Worth the $7.99 I paid
Everything you need to purchase...

Good app
I have had this up for a while and bought activities for 0-6 months for less than £4 but coming back to it, I think it's far too expensive in a subscription basis - £22 for a year. I would of happily paid the same as last time but there's no way I'm paying out £22.
Great app and helps me a lot especially being a first time mum however I wanted to buy just one month of subscription before buying a full year. I paid for the one month and a few days later this app had taken a whole years worth of subscription without my permission. I failed to get my money back so I may as well continue using the app but very unprofessional of the app producers/finance team.
I thought this was another app I could add to my collection of parenting and baby milestone/learning apps. I wanted to give it a chance despite the lower rating but the ratings tell NO LIE. What makes this app different, besides the lower rating, is that they give you minimal experience before they ask you to pay for a subscription. 2 activities a day out of the MANY great tips, activities, milestone checklists, AND MORE, I've gotten out of my other apps for FREE. I'd give it the benefit of the doubt by saying it seems pretty similar in content, but why would I pay for it, then? I thought this app had more to offer than what I already have/know...maybe I would have considered a subscription in that case but, unfortunately; this app didn't present enough to sell me, sorry.
I love the app. We went to a baby class, but we find the app to be a lot better. It is a joy to play and learn with him. However, my husband and I have the app on both our phones, but sometimes it doesn't sync correctly.
Frustrated. The app is no longer working...
Can't enter birthday because the content on screen is too big
I was excited about an app that would help me aid my baby's development. However, it was incredibly frustrating to see that every single activity for a baby 0-3 months requires a paid subscription. I immediately uninstalled the app. There's no way I'm going to pay for a subscription to an app if I can't even try out some of the activities to see if it's worth it. I'm so disappointed that my time was wasted with this app.
Was disappointed that I had to buy a membership to get access to activities I can do with my one month old. It would be nice if they had age appropriate activities selected. A one month old can't do the balance beam or the airplane. For older babies I'm sure it's fun.
I really enjoy it. As a first time mom with no idea how to assist my baby to reach milestones or even what to do while on maternity leave, this really gave me guidance on how to help and play with him. I would say it's 100% worth it. I enjoy how I receive reports of his progress and and what materials I need to help him accomplish the task.
I absolutely love this app. It's user friendly and there are so many different activities you can do. I mean I've done Alot by myself before I got this app, but there are things on here I never would have thought to do.
Subscription is annoying. Would be better if it was a one time purchase. Not really keen on having to spend money on subscription without having had a full trial. Would be great if they would give you 1 week free unlimited access then ask you to pay.

Very useful tool for any parent. I bought the $40 complete package (~10 daily activities for first 2 years) and haven't regretted it. My daughter (4 mos.) loves them, and I feel good knowing I have a variety of activities each day for her that stimulate her brain and help her grow. The milestone tracker is a great tool to let us know what areas we still need to work on, too (and what areas she's ahead in!) I was hesitant at the cost, but it's totally worth it.
